Water, Water, Everywhere! A great 2-day adventure tour featuring two of the wettest and most beautiful parts of the Jim Thorpe area: the amazing Glen Onoko waterfall hike and a kayak trip on the the bottom (3rd) section of the Lehigh River Gorge. One day we'll ascend the challenging waterfall trail in Glen Onoko, with its 4 main falls and plethora of cascades, enjoying the cold water as it splashes down from above us. There's a surprising amount of history and legend involved in the Glen Onoko hike, which is only told by JTX.
